"The beloved mid-size McCord Museum is a social history museum near McGill University that celebrates life in Montreal, both past and present. Its 1.5 million artifacts are organized into categories, including fashion and textiles, photography, decorative arts, and more. The McCord hosts several temporary interactive installations and exhibitions each year. Many of them have wide appeal and are hugely popular, such as the recent North American premiere of the Victoria and Albert Museum's "Balenciaga: Master of Couture" exhibition." - Richard Burnett
